Taking Martin Luther College Seriously, When They Do Not Take Martin Luther Seriously




Another reason - This photo of MLC students appears on many gay sites,
advertising their porn.
Just Google "Party in MLC" to find out.
The video is still being played.

Kyle,
I understand why you're upset with people who bash MLC. You likely are taking it personally.
Thoughtful people habitually mock MLC because a large percentage of the school's graduates seem to be missing an important aspect of what it means to "educated". It's hard to define this aspect, but I think I have a way for you to visualize it: Draw three circles, each overlapping the other. (This is called a Venn diagram)
  1. Label one circle "incapable of critical analysis".
  2. Label another "unexposed to literature, thought, music, art and science not specifically WELS in genesis".
  3. Label the 3rd circle: "Being shaped for vocations with 100% job security".

Now, put on your imagination cap and try to imagine the common ground between those three things. How to describe it...hm... "those who plan on surviving in a totally false thought-economy?"

It's not hard to guess why intelligent laymen, professionals in a myriad of differing vocations, find it difficult to take MLC grads seriously.

It occurs to me that MLC grads (more than anyone)should be up in arms about Ski and the other Church-Shrinkers spending all the money. MLC grads won't have any kind of security if the Shrinkers take over. Junkets get higher priority than Lutheran Schools. WELS teachers who can't find jobs in the WELS usually end up working at the 7-11 in Red Field SD (if you get my drift).


They make Paul Calvin Kelm their keynoter,
videotape Martin Luther's statue fighting with the Sprinter statue,
and no one takes them seriously?
